About Me
The day my life took a new turn was december 17, 2004 when i was told i have invisible relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. at first i was in denial but at the same time happy to know i wasn't crazy with my body acting stupid. i was working my dream job which was an apartment manager and going to college for business management so u would think i was happy but at that time i was living with my abusive alcoholic boyfriend whose mother was my boss. From september of 04 to dec 17th o4 my walking became worse and my body was slowly detearating but i kept working and trying to stay strong even though the abuse became unbearable from him and his mother. luckly god sent me angels and pulled be out of my rut. these angels were my doctors dr.boster,dr.mikol, nurse kathryn,dr.kaura and my physical therapists from theramatrix. i was pretty close to the way i was before i got sick so on march 11, 2005 i left him and quit my job and moved in with my friends house till her mom finished my room at her house. i stayed their until my parents had the basement done at their house. even though i didn't want to go back to my parents house but i did till i was sent another angel and that was my lawyer sharon rossiter who won my social security case and my disability case. i thought life couldn't get any better till a passing angel in my life came back and asked me to be his partner for the rest of our lives. so now my life is complete enough for me to be happy but always looking for new friends. my interests are movies, computers, TV, my friends, dogs, going out on boats, bars, and, being with my family.
